Peyton Hillis was hoping for a fresh start with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It hasn't taken long for a familiar roadblock to return.

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport, citing a person informed of Hillis' injury, reported Friday that Hillis suffered a hyperextended left knee during the third quarter of the Bucs' preseason opener against the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night. Rapoport added the injury is minor. Hillis limped off the field and didn't return in the Ravens' 44-16 win.
